Verdict
Plenty with claims but PRESENT LODGER has turned into a very likeable, consistent performer over fences for Lucinda Russell. He always seems to run his race and still inhabits an acceptable mark. He should certainly be in the mix. Cyrien Star is up 9lb for his last two successes under champion elect Richard Johnson and the combination should be on the premises once again, whilst Spending Time is not one to be giving up on despite pulling up at Taunton latest. A bad blunder seemed to shake his confidence on that occasion and Tom Scudamore perhaps wisely called it a day but his previous two outings over fences suggested he has a future at the game and he's one to keep an eye on.
